The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Chu Xiu reached out, and the Yinglong Nuo Mask flew towards him.

As soon as Chu Xiu got his hands on the mask, information about it surfaced in his mind:

【Imperial Treasure: Yinglong Nuo Mask】

[A mask crafted from the complete head and skeleton of an Yinglong dragon, imbued with the power of a true dragon. Those with true dragon bloodlines who wear the Yinglong Nuo mask can suppress the bloodline of those with dragon bloodlines in the surrounding area.]

After reading the system's description of the Dragon Nuo Mask, Chu Xiu suddenly understood.

This Yinglong Nuo Mask is actually a symbol of his status as a descendant of a true dragon, bestowed upon him by the Demon Emperor, and not a weapon for killing enemies.

There are not many dragons in the world that can be called true dragons, and Yinglong is one of the best among them.

The reason the Demon Emperor bestowed the head of Yinglong was probably because he sensed that he had received the inheritance of the Yinglong lineage.

"Fortunately... the Demon Emperor did not sense the ancient god bloodline within him, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and tried to put the Yinglong Nuo mask on his face.

Unexpectedly, the moment the Nuo mask touched his face, it completely adhered to and merged with his head, as if the dragon-headed Nuo mask was his head!

The instant he merged with Yinglong Nuo Mask, Chu Xiu felt a complete loss of his five senses.

But then, a deep dragon's roar resounded in his mind, pulling his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness, leaving no room for resistance.

At the same time, the trace of true dragon intent within Chu Xiu's body was suddenly amplified countless times, erupting completely and rapidly spreading outwards from the seventh floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower.

It even spread beyond the world inside the building, reaching the entire city where the Heavenly Demon Tower is located!

Everyone outside the Heavenly Demon Tower was instantly enveloped by the oppressive aura of the true dragon.

After witnessing the Demon Emperor's split soul depart, the Yellow Dragon Demon General was pondering how to get along with the Alligator Dragon, who had received the Demon Emperor's true blood in front of everyone.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful pressure, awakening a deep-seated fear and subservience within his bloodline, pressing down on his head.

He suddenly lowered his body, and even with all his strength, he could only barely avoid bowing his head under this oppressive aura.

On the other hand, the Lilong Demon General could not withstand such pressure. His chin was almost pressed against his chest, and he could not lift his head no matter how hard he struggled.

If the Lilong Demon General was in such a state, the other demon generals and demon soldiers were in an even more miserable condition. In particular, the demons who possessed the bloodline of the dragon clan were all forced to prostrate themselves under the pressure of the true dragon after being blessed by the Yinglong Nuo Mask.

Now that things have come to this, no one present dares to underestimate the current power of the Crocodile Dragon!

The weakest demon general they once mocked now stands above everyone present!

Chu Xiu, who was on the seventh floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower, was unaware that the demons watching from the outside world had developed a deep-seated fear of him.

He had his five senses blocked, completely absorbed in his own mind.

The trace of true dragon intent that the Demon Emperor spoke of seemed to be resonating with the remaining intent of Yinglong within the Yinglong Nuo Mask, drawing it from within the mask and introducing it into his own body!

A moment later, the dragon's intent from the Nuo mask was completely extracted and merged into Chu Xiu's body. The two true dragon intents merged together and became much stronger.

At this moment, the Yinglong Nuo Mask completed its recognition of its master. With a thought, Chu Xiu's dragon head appearance gradually faded away, revealing its true human face.

From now on, with just a thought, he can make Yinglong's head cover his face, and use the true dragon's skull to amplify and spread the true dragon's intent, intimidating all heroes!

Chu Xiu waved his sleeve, completely concealing the true dragon aura he was emitting. Only then were the demons outside the building able to catch their breath, their faces flushed and them getting up in a disheveled state, exchanging speechless glances.

Everyone witnessed that the Crocodile Dragon had received the true blood bestowed by the Demon Emperor. The Crocodile Dragon's identity had now been completely transformed, placing it above them...

Everyone recalled whether they had any past conflicts with the alligator dragon. Some breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with joy, while others suddenly turned pale.

The Yellow Dragon Demon General raised his head and stared intently at the ball of light representing Chu Xiu on the seventh floor, feeling a moment of hesitation.

Although he had previously made an agreement with Tuolong, requesting that Tuolong hand over the Demon Emperor's Blood, which was among the rewards from the Heavenly Demon Tower,

The alligator dragon has already obtained the Demon Emperor's blood ahead of time, but even if the alligator dragon is willing to fulfill the agreement with him, he doesn't have the courage to accept it...

The Demon Emperor himself bestowed this gift; who would dare to steal it?

Now, he can only hope that the alligator dragon will continue its trials and, upon reaching the tenth level, will mercifully bestow upon him the Demon Emperor's blood reward for this level...

But that's just wishful thinking!

Huanglong Demon General sighed deeply, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Unexpectedly, this alligator dragon, having entered the Heavenly Demon Tower for less than a day, has already transformed into someone whose status is high enough to surpass that of a dignified demon general like myself...

It's truly heartbreaking...

Inside the seventh floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower, Chu Xiu intended to summon the system to continue to the next floor, but unexpectedly, an imperial might suddenly appeared, sending him out of the Heavenly Demon Tower.

At the same time, the Demon Emperor's voice resounded in Chu Xiu's mind:

"With your current true strength, forcing your way into the eighth level will only result in your death. It's not too late to try after your cultivation has recovered!"

Chu Xiu immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

As expected, his true strength had long been seen through by this demon emperor.

But since the Demon Emperor already knew his current strength, why couldn't he see through the fact that he wasn't the Crocodile Dragon himself...?

Or perhaps, she didn't care whether she was a true alligator dragon or not; the true dragon bloodline within her was undeniable, and to her now, she was far more valuable than that alligator dragon with incomplete bloodline...

Just as Chu Xiu stood in front of the Heavenly Demon Tower in deep thought, the crowd that had been watching him break into the Heavenly Demon Tower from a distance had all come to a short distance behind him.

However, due to the dragon aura that Chu Xiu had previously exuded, only the Yellow Dragon Demon General and the Black Dragon Demon General, who believed that their relationship with Chu Xiu had been repaired, dared to come forward.

Commander Huanglong clasped his hands and spoke first: "Brother Tuolong... Previously, it was I... it was I, Huanglong, who spoke presumptuously. Please forgive me, Brother Tuolong, and do not take it to heart..."

The dragon demon general chuckled without saying a word, his eyes filled with surprise.

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. He hadn't expected the Yellow Dragon Demon General's attitude towards him to change so drastically. Could it be that his actions inside the Heavenly Demon Tower had been discovered by outsiders?

Chu Xiu looked at the Lilong Demon General with a puzzled expression. The Lilong Demon General immediately understood and nodded heavily.

Chu Xiu nodded in agreement. Even so, Huang Long's change in attitude was to be expected.

He smiled slightly and said, "Yellow Dragon Demon General, there's no need for this. We have no past grudges, and the Crocodile Dragon will not treat you any differently because of a mere 'agreement'..."

Chu Xiu deliberately emphasized the word "agreement".

The Yellow Dragon Demon General's face paled slightly, and he hurriedly said, "The previous agreement with Brother Tuolong is hereby nullified! I will no longer make things difficult for Brother Tuolong because of Haiyou!"

Chu Xiu smiled with satisfaction, his gaze passing over Huang Long and landing on Hai You, who stood in the crowd, daring not to approach like the other bystanders.

Hai You's face was now filled with complex emotions as he stared blankly at Chu Xiu, lost in thought.

Chu Xiu casually shifted his gaze to Li Long: "I have important matters to attend to at the manor, so I'll be leaving now."

Li Long quickly informed the Demon Commander telepathically, "I have already informed the Demon Commander of the situation here, as have the others."

"Soon, Brother Tuolong's reputation will spread throughout the entire Yuling Sect. Also, there is something else I need to inform you..."

"Brother Tuolong is now a free man! He is qualified to participate in the upcoming battle for the position of Demon Commander!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu reached out and patted Li Long on the shoulder, acknowledging his kindness: "Thank you for informing me, brother..."

After saying this, Chu Xiu leaped up and left the place in full view of everyone, leaving the demons watching his disappearing figure and discussing among themselves.

Everyone present shared the same premonition: the stable structure of the Spirit Control Sect, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, was about to undergo a dramatic upheaval due to the rise of the Crocodile Demon General…
